What a coincidence. Only yesterday I read that following a link from 
reddit about Knuth giving up sending checks as rewards for bug 
discovery. (It turns out that many people put photocopies of his checks 
on the Web as bragging rights, and a bug in the banking system allows 
anyone who sees an ABA + check number to easily withdraw money from that 
account.)
